Why? Because sometimes life is short, hard, and brutal.
And some people only get a few chances at The Good Stuff.
And some people get mowed down, their lives cruelly cut short.
It’s sad and discouraging to think people value life so little that they have the gall to take other peoples’ lives, ending a life-path that could have done so much good. Or bad – who knows? Now we won’t know.
Pisses me off, really. How many good men have we lost to carefully aimed wads of metal?
You just don’t know when the End is.
It’s really that simple. Life is precious, but we treat it as ho-hum, it’ll be here tomorrow. Well, maybe it will, but maybe you won’t.
So appreciate your life now, while you still can!
Get those Important Things you always wanted to do, but never made time for, done. Right NOW!
And hug yourself, and tell yourself, “Self, I love you! You’re the best self I could ever have!”
I love you, too.
